In the form of a liquid.
Phosphorus reacts with chlorine to form PCl3, phosphorus trichloride PCl5, phosphorus pentachloride P2Cl4 , diphosphorus tetrachloride
In chemistry, an allotropism is the ability of an element to exist in more than one physical form without a change of state.
Phosphorus electron strucure is [Ne] 3s2 3p3, To form a noble gas configuration of Argon: [Ne] 3s2 3p6, Phosphorus has to 'pick up' 3 electrons, but this is only 'done' in covalent bonding to Hydrogen (H3P) or alkali metals (forming of phosphides); the independent, pure ionic form of P3- does not exist. To form a noble gas configuration of Neon: [1s2, 2s2 2p6] 3s0 3p0, Phosphorus has to 'donate' 5 electrons, but this is only 'done' in polar-covalent bonding to Oxygen; also the independent, pure ionic form of P5+ does not exist.
The chemical symbol (not formula) of phosphorus is P.
Phosphorus will form the phosphide (P3-) ion.
No. Phosphorus is reactive with oxygen, so it does not exist in elemental form in nature.
if phosphorus didnt exist we woulnt have fireworks:p
Phosphorus cycle.
Phosphorus commonly exists as salts in the form of phosphates. These salts contain phosphorus combined with oxygen and often other elements such as calcium, potassium, or sodium. Phosphates are important components of fertilizers, detergents, and other industrial products.
Tetra phosphorus decaoxide or phosphorus decaoxide.
Phosphorus can be found in the environment most commonly as phosphates
All of the allotrpes of phosphorus are covalent and can all be crystallised. The white form consiste of P4 molecules- growing crystals is not easy but can be done as X-Ray structures have been published.
White Phosphorus
No. Carbon does not form ionic bonds, and in this case they are double-covalent bonds.

Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
